Valid points up till todays game. Point 5 about the schedule is very valid. Understand you getting upset over their opinion, but till today didn't most of us Fans here say the same thing?

Yeah. Wisenewski and Maybe Walls are the ONLY two names that stand out. So in hindsight, i think the Bills made out like bandits. Also always liked Cornelius Bennett we shared the same college football nickname. Too bad i didnt stop eating all the biscuits! Darn It

I was always one the boat of screw the owners, if they can afford a team they can afford the stadium as well. But you also have to look at what that teams brings to the community in tax dollars. Think about how many millions in taxes the team brings in over the years to the state/city. maybe someone has some type of analysis? If i am wrong would love to see the evidence either way.

Not knowing the details of his contract aside, it is a no brainer that you bring him in. The Bills have a horrible pass rush. Even if they do draft an OLB in round one or two, there is still a huge need for pas rushers on this team. maybe after this surgery the Bills decide to see what he can do and if they feel at this point in his career he is a situational guy(rush specialist) they keep him. He has shown a desire to help younger guys learn. That alone is worth a spot if he can still produce 10-15 plays a game.

Exactly This weeks game is pivitol fo rthe rest of the season. Go 5-2 with the Jets coming to Buffalo is big.

Why can't Bills fans drive to toronto? I am only asking. Do season ticket holders have to purchase tix fo rthe Rogers center game? It is a 90 min drive, right? Maybe Toronto is also hopin gto get Buffalo and Bills fans to come to their city? If you notice, i dont think they ever play a game late in the season in Toronto.

I hope it remains a constant theme. Bills get one of the few wins for a bye team this weekend. Then the Jets get one of the many loses next game! Rex Ryan getting two weeks to prepare for the Bills offense seems a little daunting. He realizes there is a huge difference in 4-3 or 3-4. and going 2-1 in the division or 1-2. You can bet he will be pulling out all the blitze packages and zone blitzes for the Bills the next game. I hope Chan has done the same for our Offense this week, and the bills put up 50 on the Skins!

He had ACL surgery in April. I dont think even T.O, who is known for having remarkable recovery skills, is going to convince any NFL he is ready to play this season. He should sit out one year and get an invite to training camp next year. I am sure he can stil play. Put him on a team like the Ravens next year, or Steelers, he could be productive.

the fact that som eyoung guys are comming in and doing well at QB only helps the Bills if you really think about it. I mean you can draft a quality young talent comming out of college in the second round and pay him the new rookie salary for 3-4 years. Now i am not saying the bills shouldn't try to lock Fitz up, but also want to be smart about it. If Fitz puts a continious season together of play like the first 6 weeks, then he deserves that 5 year 50mil contract. I also am not abig fan of doing deals lik ethis mid season. Lets say Fitz gets the new deal, thats a lot of pressure with no time to adjust. How many fans will turn on him if he goes out and has more games like he did against the Giants, then he did against the Pats?

yeah, either way it kind of sucks. That would mean another wasted pick. Understand drafting isn't a science, but at some point if this is going to be a solid team, we have to start hitting on picks more times then not. especially in early rounds. Just think if Troupe was able to step in with Williams down. To me that is the biggest concern on this team- no depth anywhere really(maybe wr). In the NFL injuries happen, its the teams with quality depth that win consistently. Hopefully Ross is another project that pans out for the Bills.

anyone else think this is a sign Williams might be on the shelf for awhile? Not trying to be gloom and doom.

Fitz's agent is smarter then that. if they are 'close' in negotiations, has to be 4-5 year deal, no?

Got to agree with WEO. Show me a full consecutive season of playing at his current level, then i say give him 12mil a year. I dont think any other teams would come steal him from you. Giving a guy a huge raise after 6 games into a season seems a little steep. Rather tell him, 'keep this up, and you will get paid'. Fitz and his agent know he puts up numbers for the rest of the seaosn like he has now, there will be a few teams willing to pay him $12mil a season. And the team with the first shot is Buffalo. He seems like a loyal guy, who would give Buffalo every opportuinity to show him the money first.

We should have given them Harmon ... Maybe then we would have been in 5 straight Super Bowls ... Especially in light of the fact that Harmon owed some bookies some major bucks. Never will know if he really threw the game or not, but sure looked like it.

Misleading? I know stats can be twisted to say anything, but Thurmans production almost got cut in half over night. Not sure if injuries were invloved, cant remember. But probably a reason his carries got cu tin half? Coaches are not stupid.

I understand and agree with most of what you are saying. But i think the Bills have a golden opportunity to change the culture of the team, an opportunity they have earned by there play through 6 weeks. They need to seize the opportunity, not let it slip away. Win all your home games- very doable now. And win 2 road games. This should get you in the play offs

My grandfather worked for the team in the 80's. i remember meeting Kent in 86 as a rookie. He was massive to me. But was very gracious to us kids. Later i went to Jim Kelly's first ever football camp. As an olineman myself Kent worked with us kids along with Jim Richter, two extremely nice guys. Very sad to see guys you looked up to and loved to watch play them game pass. Lots of good football men passing this month!

Maybe the luckiest play ever in football. Give Eli credit fo rthe scramble and getting away from a couple tacklers, but he pretty much blindly threw the ball up. Great catch. But there is a reason that play has happened once in how many years playing Pro Football.- Lucky as sh*t. Oh and i hate Brady and actually like Eli. But even a broke clock is right twice a day.

Only position i disagree with is RB. I pulled up some stats about month ago when everyone was talking about paying Jackson. Very very few RB play well into there 30's. Only a handfull have 1,000 yd+ seasons. And usually when they do decline it is a very quick drop off. Even Thurman dropped very quickly after 30. At 30y/o he rushed for 1033 at 31y/o he went for 643. and then down to 381 at 32y/o. And there are plenty of guys like this. Kickers, QBs, even offensive lineman can be very roductive into their mid 30's

Really? I said GB made it to and won the SB with out many key players. Go back and look. So, sorry maybe you are the stupid one that likes to mire in the ghosts of seasons past. What if you and i are watching the emergence of good young players? This is their year to come onto the scene. Sorry bud, but if we want this team to become something for us to watch and enjoy for years, it starts this year. Like Chan says, he expects to win every game. And up till now, they have been right there with less then a minute left. They just need to learn how to do it on the road. You Guys say you are realists? I say you are pessimists.

If this is true then take a page out of the Giants D playbook and stack a guy on either side of him? This worked and took Woods out of getting to the second level. I think the bills are very capable of beating both these teams twice. As well as the Skins and Broncos. The Titans at home should be another nail bitter. But the Bills can pull that one out.

I think you are more of a pessimst or slow to change? Look at the GB Packers last year. How many starters did they end up losing by the time they played in and WON the SB. Now i am not asking for a SB victory-practicing a little realism- but a playoff birth isn't too much to ask. Not when you start 4-2 and already beaten a couple quality opponents at home- do this on the road, and they are in! Coaching and determination can overcome a lot deficencies. Remember this team 2 years ago. The talent and coaching wasn't anywhere near where it is, but they played with heart. And for the most part where in a lot of games. Now is the year to turn the corner. Its like a race where you look up and realize the other runners have given you a head start. What should you do? stop and wait for them to catch up? or run harder and try to win?

That was before the season started. Winning is contagious, just like losing. If the Bills want to turn this franchise around, this is the year to do it. No excuses at this point...they have already beaten NE and Philly. The 2 teams the so called experts were picking as SB teams for this year. My point is they have shown they can beat good teams at home. They just need to go do it on the road and then they are 10-6 or 11-5 and in the playoffs. Find some more pieces in the off season and stay focused, maybe next year is the SB run!

There were more then a few times yesterday the play calling reminded me of Dick jauron. The long feildgoal before halftime. Trying the same short yardage play over and over and it getting stuffed. Passing the ball when on the 25yd w 4 mins left, and not using more the clock. I said the Giants are a good team, but the entire team, including the coaches has to learn how to win on the road for this team to make a playoff run. That is my point. If the Bills go 8-8 or 9-7 and miss the playoffs it wont be a moral victory. It will be another set back. You can not come out 4-1 and then implode again and not make the playoffs. Therefore they wil need to learn to beat solid teams on the road, or we will be watching another promising start turn into a disappointing season.

More upside on Dalton then Fitz, agree with that? Fitz is playing his best football after years in the league. And he has been a starter for multiple games at different times in his career. Not saying Fitz is a bad qb, but lets see him put that much touted Harvard Ed to use and learn from his mistakes from yesterday. At this point 7-9mil a year would seem very fair. Personally i would wait till en dof the season, may cost you a couple more mil, but lets see him put up these numbers for a solid continous season.
